Almost 60 police officers in the Eastern Cape were fired for serious crimes‚ including murder‚ rape and armed robbery‚ and a staggering R51-million was paid out in civil claims in the 2015-16 financial year.

President Jacob Zuma has signed proclamations authorising the Special Investigating Unit (SIU) to investigate certain matters in respect of the affairs of two district municipalities and a provincial department.

The DA's first election advert was pulled by the SABC after it was flighted on April 8 and 9. The public broadcaster said it incited violence.

On Friday, a complaint by the SA Police Service regarding the first advert that contains a photo of a police officer shooting rubber bullets was upheld by the Independent Communications Authority of SA (Icasa).

Zille and Maimane launched the second advert in Mamelodi, outside Pretoria on Monday.

At the time Zille said "Ayisafani 2: The DA is bigger, stronger, and ready to win!" would air on television every day from Tuesday until Sunday.

The 45 second advert, which is on YouTube, starts with Maimane in front of a mirror, getting dressed in a grey suit and white shirt saying: "So, they tried to silence us, but this is actually what they're afraid of", before opening double doors and segueing into the rest of the advert.
